| Rural Ireland: Not bad if you're a sheep. Because sheep don't need broadband, roads, services, healthcare... |
The Irish Times are hosting a commendable section dedicated to rural Ireland and its concerns, and solicited comments from Labour's Ann Phelan, Minister for Rural Affairs. We'll stop this donut effect, she said, making sure large supermarkets don't locate outside town centers. Other than that, she's not promising anything because she says "I probably have a maximum of 18-21 months to do something.” Her main focus she says is on job creation; there is no budget (save that from other departments) with which to directly fund projects.
